driving down 71 a few nights ago i see a white evo come flying through traffic, im crusing in the open so i slow down a little bit and wait for him to come up, he gose to pass me in the slow lane so i nail it a little to give him an idea of what i wanna do

he gives me this :screwy: look and i was all :naughty:

he motions 3 fingers and tells me to honk, so we slow done to about 40 with clear open spaces ahead of us i honk down and bame were off

i get a slight lead to the end of third, churped into 4th started pulling harder, hit 5th he was about 2-3 car lengths back i shut down about 120 he rolled up gave me the :eek7: and a thumbs up

god i my sentra

Not quite check out my post. My srt-4 is a low 14 sec car high 13 sec car and all i did was stay dead even tell 100 when we shut down.

I think this guy has bs written all over his post unless he races a ralliart or something.

its really not that hard to belive if you think about it

stock an evo puts down 271 at the crank and is somewhere around 3000 pounds

a stock Spec V is rated at 175 at the crank and is about 2710 pounds

now i guess im right around 2800 and with 287whp the race would be in my favor

i churped in 4th becuase i have shitty tires, and yeah i forgot to say love in "god i love my sentra" my bad but i was pumped up to tell my story

evos aren't very fast from a roll. and almost 300whp in a light car is plenty enough to take an evo from a roll.

what makes an evo not good on a roll...heard lots of people say that, it still has 270 some odd horses...the car can't be that much heavier than the sentra...i dont know though. im no expert.

04-04-2005, 02:03 AM
An evo only puts down 225-230 to the wheels. My srt-4 wich puts down roughly that much to the wheels can hang with an evo check out my post Srt-4 vs Evo

Edit: I have heard of turbo Spec-v's they can be pretty quick. I almost got a spec-v i test drove it though and it didn't feel faster then my Scion TC. I then test drove a Srt-4 and i was hooked.

04-04-2005, 02:13 AM

what kind of tires are you using? how is a near 300whp FWD goin to have traction in 2nd and 3rd? while your spinning hes already owning you. also as someone already mentioned. don't judge the EVO by its 271 crank hp becasue that hp is pure bull. the car puts down 230-240awhp stock. that 271 crank hp is very underrated. your SE-R however is overrated, its rated at 175 crank hp but puts down 140whp.

again i will ask you what kind of tires your running, casue everyone who owns a high powered FWD will know that anything close to 300whp is useless until your well into 3rd gear. esp with the sentra's short gears that doesn't even hit 60mph in 2nd, you'll have a even harder time connecting.

Most AWD cars are a slouch on a roll due to drivetrain loss.

Most AWD cars are a slouch on a roll due to drivetrain loss.

the AWD does take more power away, but however whatever power makes it to ground is whatever power makes it to the ground no matter what drive train it is. so no matter how you put it, a stock EVO will acelerate like how a 3200lb 240whp car would acelerate from a roll.

if you two are making the exact same crank hp, then yes the GST would put down more power to the ground ( if they're not being spun from too much power goin to the ground ) and ultimately walk you.

also lookin at his mods list, he listed 370cc injectors. those injectors will not support 287whp, those will not flow enough. i'm using that size injectors along with countless other 240sx's and they would never want to go over 250-260whp with them unless you raise the shit out of the fuel pressure with the fuel pressure regulator which you have.

however why did you go with such small injectors? also what are you doing for timing control? the QR25DE is not a engine that runs on a distributor where you can just turn back timing for boost. even so making 287 whp requires some serious timing control. also what are you controling those injectors with?

and what size A/R is your T4 side of the turbo? i would like to know becasue gaining 150whp with only 8.5 psi is damn impressive.

these are basic questions that anyone with a custom turbo charged car should know. its the essential knowledge required so you won't blow up your engine.

im running a pair of bald toyo fz4's yes my 2nd and 3rd gears are useless if you read the srt-4 vs evo post i posted up about not having those anymore

Also this is a kit not a custom turbo www.powertechimports.com go to products, tubo kits, click on the spec v

370cc injectors are not too small for the HP im running at, they are about maxed out but i used them on purpose so i wouldnt be tempted to up the boost past 8.5

im using an apexi safcII which with the low bost im running is plenty good for effective tuning purposes

ill get the dyno vids and i know some guys who have a evo and an sti that would be willing to run so i could record it

I'll believe that. I got ~300whp at 14psi and am still on 360cc injectors...they are maxed out and need to be upgraded before the boost goes up anymore...but plenty of 3/S owners are doing the same with few/no problems.

No...... Who told you this???? Not only does the car have more parasitic drivetrain loss, it also has more mechanical mass to move (Depending on car: front driveshaft, rear differential, transfer case). If Car A has 120 whp and is fwd, and car B has the same amount of whp and is awd, Car A will win. Reason being is that there are more mechanical parts that need to move.

If Car A has 120 whp and is fwd, and car B has the same amount of whp and is awd, Car A will win. Reason being is that there are more mechanical parts that need to move.

your forgetting the most important aspect of counting why we rather rate the car's true power by measuring at the wheels vs. measuring at the crank. the whp power is derived from all that drive train loss already accounted into it, which means it already includes the axle lose, the center diff, the front and rear diff's, and for the subbies case, the input shaft, counter shaft, and output shaft, also not to mention all the power thats freed up from a light weight flywheel, under drive pulleys, light weight drive shafts, etc. after all the power from the engines fly wheel travels thru all that, then whatever power remains will make it to the wheels to be measured.

example a S2000 makes 240hp but loses 40whp from its drive train loss, and what makes it to the wheels is 200whp. if you calculate 200whp x 1.20 which is equilvant to 20% drive train loss, it will work out to exactly 240 crank hp. for RWD vehicles the general bases is 7.5% per gear set. so since its a longitutional RWD tranny it consist of 3 gear sets.

1) input shaft
2) counter shaft
3) output shaft

so thats 3 X7.5 = 22.5 percent drive train loss. that is the general case, so with the S2000 being 20% it works out perfectly. i can also say that around the 350Z. those puts down 230-240 whp and its rated at 287 crank hp.

so thats 240 x 1.2 = guess what? 288 crank hp.

now for front wheel drives, or transversly mounted MR's they run on a transaxle which only has 2 sets of gears, so theres only the

1) input shaft
2) output shaft

so thats 7.5 x 2 = 15% drive train loss. lets look at some numbers

a GSR is rated at 175 hp but puts down around 150whp so

150 x 1.15 = hmmmm 172 crank hp. hmmmm do you see the pattern here?

so with the AWD cars all that mumbo jumbo gear set and drive train loss is already accounted for so its 271 crank hp is pure bull.

the average AWD drive train loss is 25% so

240whp x 1.25 = 300hp. which is what i think the evo's true output is.

logically speaking a 350Z should kill a evo from a roll becasue it makes

1) more crank hp 287 vs. 271 crank hp

2) less drive train loss. RWD vs. AWD

but guess what? they are almost dead even from a roll!!! WTF????

well guess what? they both put down 240whp and they both weight 3200lbs ( even though weight is less of a factor from a roll )

also a S2000 should be albe to be even with the EVO from a roll since it puts down 200whp and it weights 2800 lbs, but guess what? the EVO will walk it like a dog.

my friends EVO walks my friends S2000 by atleast 3-4 everytime from 20mph -100mph.

however a SRT-4 putting down very similar numbers to a EVO at the wheels are a pretty damn good match for each other, and is basically a drivers race. i've also seen this in person and knows countless other people whos raced.

I don't agree. Also I know what wheel horsepower is, and what parasitic loss is. I could go into greater detail, but the bottom line is that there is more mechanical mass with an awd car. Also your assessment of the 350Z versus the Evo is wrong as well. From a roll the Evo will have to spool up. They did a test in Car and Driver and assessed that the 350Z will win from a roll. Mind you that was versus the 03/04 Evo. The 05 Evo has a 10.5 hotside turbo, which added alot more power then what the manufacturer is quoting (i.e. same output as the 04/05 STi). I go to the track regularly and see Evo's trapping 2-3 mph slower then 350Z's stock for stock. Remember, I use to own an Evo :D

04-04-2005, 11:47 PM
so you go the track and see evo's only trapping in the high 90's? thats kinda crappy if you ask me. a stock 350Z traps at 99-100. so your saying htat a EVO that traps at 102-103mph traps at 97 mph at your drag strip? you see what i'm sayin here right? yes there is more mechanical mass becasue of the AWD, when you say mechanical mass you mean its from the actual weight of the components? becuse it doesn't matter either because the cars still both weights 3200 lbs no matter how you look at it.

also when they did those roll on runs, they were doing a 5mph roll where the evo does have lag. at 20mph the evo is in 3000rpm in first and there is no lag at the point and from a even punch it will be the same as the Z. which in the end again goes into my argument of how a Z and a EVO will be identical from a roll because they both put down 240whp and weights the same.

please explain to me what i'm missing obviously i'm not gettin what your saying.

edit: lets say in modded terms a 300whp 350Z vs. a 300whp EVO. hmmm lets see, the 350 whp Z will be making around 420 crank hp, a 350whp evo would be making 437.5 crank hp to get 350whp. so thats where that extra parasitic drain your talkin about comes from. its already been accounted for.

They're a dime a dozen at Speedway trapping 97-99 mph (Meaning Evo's). I'm sure Danno will back me on this one (I am of course talking about stock Evo's, the modified ones i've seen in the 110-115 mph range). I'm guessing that you are not located in California. We have what's called shitane over here (91 octane). Also what dyno are you pulling your quotes from? Stock evo's on Shiv's dyno pump out 185-200 awhp. My former Evo, after the Xede and a catback dynoed at 228 awhp. I raced a stock evo from a roll with it and left him by buslengths, so I don't think that Shiv makes up his dyno numbers.

shiv's dynos are known to read really conservative. when he was on tuner transformations he tuned a EVO with the xede to run on race gas or pump gas, and with the race gas mode in a dedicated fuel cell, with hks cams, cam gears, larger turbine housing, and exhaust running c16 race gas, it only made 298whp. while on sportcompact car, a simliarly setup evo with less mods tuned by shiv made 350whp on their dynos. on the sport compact car dynos, the EVO actualy dynos more whp then the typical 350Z. every year in the 8 great rides section, the EVO has the highest whp compared to everything else, that includes the SRT-4, and the 350Z. and yes 91 octane does suck, a STi's EJ25 is known to make around 310 crank hp according to APS just from running from 93 to 94 octane. certain cars are more sensitive then others.

WHP is HP measured after all drivetrain, blue fairy, and talking elephant loss is taken out.

Weight of the drivetrain has nothing to do with HP or WHP loss. Though it may show up on a dyno, it means nothing. Lighter drivetrain components only allow for quicker deployment of the existing BHP to WHP. In lamens terms, it allows your engine to rev quicker thus allowing gears to wind out faster. Tires are the same prinicple. Smaller tires may allow quicker acceleration and show more HP on a dyno, but that certainly doesn't mean the car has any more HP than before. Likewise, larger tires may show the car as having less HP, but the car still has the same amount of HP as before. Still traps the same speed at the 1320. Same goes for lightened flywheels, driveshafts, ect. Then try dynoing after putting in the correction factors.;)

And drivetrain layout will only play a factor on winning in the 1320'. From a highway roll, WHP is all that matters.

Yeah so a whole day later.........where are the pics????
I wish I would of caught this yesterday but I guess Tat beat me to it. I dont see how he gained so much HP from 8.5 psi either. also he didnt need to come up with a list of mods, he just had to go online and look up the kit and then repeat all the items on the list to us plus the run of the mill supporting mods.
It be cool though, a Sentra smoking an Evo, that'd be sure to piss a few people off.

04-05-2005, 04:42 PM
he has a fairly big engine for a 4 cylinder, you dont need a whole lot of boost to make much more power correct?

Igovert500
04-05-2005, 06:15 PM
A little late, but I'm with Tat on this one. WHP is hp after the drivetrain has had its parasitic effect. It has already been accounted for mathematically. To say you have to account for the drivetrains rotating mass after the fact is the same as accounting for parasitic losses 2x. Which would equate to the EVO lossing 50% of its power, not 25%.

Well I am starting to wonder about you claimed 287 HP on 8-9 PSI. So you start with 175 HP and end with 287. with the only power adding modifications being

Garret T3/T4 hybrid Turbo
Coated 3" Down pipe
3” mid pipe w/ flex tube
Coated Protech hi-velocity manifold
Garrett intercooler (385HP)
3” aluminum turbo inlet pipe
3" custom Exhuast to Mangflow racing edition muffler

Your injectors are just part of having the turbo since you would absoulutly needed them for boost.

so you gained 112 HP on 8 PSI I guess it's dooable but... I would think at more like 12-14 PSI

What trim T3/T4, Saying you have a T3/T4 turbo is like me saying I drive a Buick. Well I say that and people are like "So, my grandma drives a Buick, who gives a shit." Well if I say, "I drive a Buick GRAND NATIONAL." then people are interested.

well hypsi, i believe him because of hte pics, but i must add one thing to your comment, you siad he went from 175hp to 287whp. that is not a 112hp gain, that car puts down 140whp stock so its actually a 147whp gain with only 8.5 psi of boost.

I was not saying I did not beleive him.... I was more or less typing the stuff out and doing some math. It's quite impressive to gain that much off of 8.5 PSI

yes it is, even with the high compression pistons. and it has nothing to do with the displacement. My Starion is a 2.6 4-banger and even with that and increase of 8.5 lbs would not give me an extra 145HP! the only reason I am not going to call BS is because I do have low compression pistons and therefore it would not be comparing apples to apples.
I gotta tell you though, you know you have a hell of a car when half the AF street racing board dossent believe you!

well the spec puts down 148whp, thats what it dynoed at before we started this project

the turbo is a 50 trim

im hitting the dyno up again on saturday and im going to get some vids of it

it sure is nice to have an uncle with a mustang dyno and tune shop, he recently got some stuff to do hondata so buissness has trippled

ps i dont know if any of you know this but its scary as hell to get tuned on a mustang dyno, your pointing at the wall going 90 :shakehead ......

TatII
04-08-2005, 02:27 AM
whoa you got 148whp stock on a mustang dyno? and got 287 whp on a mustang dyno on only 8.5 psi?

1) your are is readly reading higher then average whp, and on the mustang dyno which is notorious for reading low makes it even higher. so technically speaking your car on a regular dyno would be close to 160whp stock. that is very ahrd to believe.

2) this also means your 287whp will atleast be 300whp on a regular dyno. hmmmm

Neutrino
04-08-2005, 02:42 AM
well its true that mustang dynos normally read lower especially that the ever optimistic dynojets. But there is another factor that can change the results by quite a bit: the correction factors used by whomever was manning that dyno.

ive never new that the numbers were that different, i knew that there was a degree of corection but i didnt think that it when the other way, i was lead to belive that they read high....

anyway i think almost any dynos different, you never always get the same numbers

im getting retuned tommrow at a different place up in dayton that is offering me a great deal and knows a lot more then my uncle about tuning imports

i hope that this will be the deciding factor

well musashi..for one, he wasn't a noob saying that stuff. second..i did doubt him all the way up until i realized how possible it was. it's because he was running 1.9s on street tires, right? right after i read that thread i read a big write up on stangnet.com or maybe modulardepot.com about how cutting 1.9s with street tires/stock suspension is very possible on mustangs. so then after looking at his mods, and his timeslips, and what he was saying..it became apparent that he was telling the truth. this guys got five pictures, some really big claims..and nothing else to really back it up. i don't see how he can't present good pictures/maybe video. doesn't everyone have or atleast have access to a digital camera or video camera? I mean..unless you have no friends at all and you're broke..then you have no excuse for not being able to get your shit filmed or get pictures of it. And I know it's not that he's broke...he's got some crazy modded sentra. oh well.
